How To Become A Successful Blogspot Blogger

This is a guest post by Felix Albutra who shares legitimate money making ideas and blogging tips on his blog bloggingaccess.com

We can’t deny the fact that there are hundreds or even thousands of blogs are created each day. Most of this blogs are using blogspot platform because it’s free and have user-friendly feature interface.

What I noticed is that, only few of them have succeeded in their blogging career especially those who don’t use their own custom domain name, hosting their blog and the likes.

Some of the blogspot user felt inferiority from those bloggers who used wordpress. It is because wordpress have those great useful search engine friendly plugins and beautiful professional themes that made the blog stand and recognizable in the crowded blogosphere. Then, how to become a successful blogspot blogger?

1. Use Professional Looking Template

They say that, first impression plays a great role in blogging industry. So using a good – looking template seems catchy to the eye of your readers. People love beautiful things and they tend to explore more about your blog. Sometimes, people might not notice that you are a blogspot user because of your professional templates.

There are many free professional templates out there that you can use in your blog. I recommend you to visit eblogtemplates because they have many professional blogger templates in their archive plus they have good tutorial lesson on how you install the template to your blog.

You can also do a request to some bloggers out there to convert wordpress themes to blogger format template.  I suggest bloganol dot com, because he has lots of experience on converting wordpress theme to blogger template.

2. Use Your Own Custom Domain Name

If you want your blog to be your business, using your own domain name is necessary to build your own brand. Many readers just ignore blogspot blogs because they think that your blog is not professional or something that they won’t trust it.

Using your own custom domain is easy to remember especially if you use short names for your blog. Google let blogspot users to use your own custom domain and they also have some offers plan for blogging business.

3. Do Basic Search Engine Optimization To Your Blog

Now that you already set up your blog, try to put some “meta tags” in your home page and in your post. You must also submit your blog url to different blog directories.

Creating a sitemap and submit it to search engine, this will make search engine crawlers easily find your blog’s content.

4. Publish Your Best And Unique Content To Your Blog

Useful information could stick your readers and tend to learn more from you. To become an authority in your niche, you must build the trust of your readers first through sharing your unique and valuable content in different style of sharing your information.

Controversial issue could also grab someone’s attention and tend to share their own opinions through their valuable comments.

5. Market Your Blog Post

No one knows that you publish great information on your blog.  So marketing your blog post is necessary to every blogger. You can invite other blogger to see and read your blog post and ask them to have their impression in your blog.

If you think that your content is the best for you, then build your confident to ask people in some social media networks like facebook to visit your blog. But make sure to do double checking from your blogging buddies and ask them if your post is good to be market.

6. Do A Guest Post To Other Blogs

Doing guest post is a good way to be recognized by other bloggers in your niche. It is also the best choice to build your links to gain good page rank and visibility to search engines.

Building relationship with other bloggers is also a good way to build your brand because if they found out that your blog and content is good, they will recommend you to their readers.

Take note, you must do guest post on other blogs with the same level as you or near level to your blog first before targeting class – A blogs.

Conclusion

Market, market, market… Keep on marketing your best blog post and try to drive more readers to your blog. Doing it consistently or do more, would rapidly increased your visibility to other people.

My Words…

I’ve seen a rare successful blogger out there that made its success even though he don’t use a custom domain on his blogspot blog. But I am very sure that because of his great efforts of publishing valuable content and keep on marketing his blog, he deserved it.

Who is he? Try to visit Alan Liew’s Money Maker Info blog where he shares how to make money online and in fact he is now on the #1 spot of the first page of Google SERPS for the popular keyword term “make money online”.

So my blogging advice for you is that, do your best and don’t be afraid to fail and start over again. Because from those failures; you gain a big advantage to success.

I am sure that many of you used blogspot as your blogging format. So what’s your experience in your blogspot blogging?

    Great Post man. Using your own domain is every important.
    There are many bloggers like alan, seth who are still using free domains.
    And yeah guest posting is easiest and effective way to get traffic, backlinks, build brand awareness etc.. !!

    Thanks for sharing this great post.

    1. Hello Venkat,

      Thanks for sharing your opinion, I don’t we should consider bloggers who are using a blogspot subdomain as trash, because there are still people who build their authority on their niche.

      Like what I’ve set an example above that Alan Liew used the blogspot subdomain, but he manage to be on the first spot of the competitive keyword term, “MAKE MONEY ONLINE”.

      I don’t think that we should criticize them because some of the successful bloggers these days use blogspot before they used wordpress. For example, Carl Ocab and Me.

      But anyway, thanks for your comment.

    1. Hello Hariharakumar,

      What a long name…. But anyway, many have considered that “Content is King”, but I think your King would be lonely if the “Queen Marketing” is out.

      So you do marketing to gather traffic and make them your “Prince and Princesses”.

      Thanks for the comment my friend.

  4. I agree. Blogspot is one of the easiest and simplest blogging platform. If you have a custom domain and some basic css knowledge, you could even create a high- class blog with blogger. I loves it ….

  8. Hello to all the people who commented here. Thanks for sharing your thoughts regarding the topic I covered on this guest post.

    By the way, for all people who already knew me and those are not, I want to inform you all guys that my previous Real Blogging Advice dot com was already sold. That’s was the result of my successful case study on “How to Create a Blogspot Blog that sales”.

    I’ve tried to do blog flipping and I used the blogspot platform since I don’t have the money to buy a hosting plan at that time.

    Now, I am already using wordpress and it seems that I am having a good new experience using it. I need your support through spreading you this information.

    Thank you very much. Here is my new blog anyway, Blogging Access dot com.

    Typhoon, thank you very much for such an opportunity having you to be one of your friends. I hope this comment would be published. As commenting other blogs is our way of connecting people. God Bless….

    Best regards,

  9. In my opinion, there is no success when you are using a free domain. Your hard work can be delete by Google anytime. My suggestion is using blogspot just a place to learn how to star blogging 😀
    Thanks bro for the awesome article.

  10. I think Blogspot is a really great place for many people to start off blogging.

    We don’t all need to have the huge backend like WordPress, our own servers and domain when we’re just writing about a few personal things but they should be considered once you plan to make it completely your own.

    I say if you’re new to blogging, get a little taste of it first on Blogspot before you jump in and invest in a WordPress blog. You can always delete it if it doesn’t feel right for you. You also get to understand interaction with a community and may build up your ideas to launch your flagship blog at a later point.

    1. Yeah… you have a point there Murlu. I also suggested to people who wants to enter the blogging world that they must do a research about their passion in blogging using blogspot.

      If they found out that their test works, then they should invest on that or maybe it’s optional.. Thanks for the comment my friend.
